Re: Texans-Colts

so I know what if's don't count in the grand scheme of things but am I right in assuming that had the Colts not choked against the jags in the final minute of the game on the only possible way they could have beaten us, and the rest of the season played out the same way we would have won our division today and have home field advantage in the first round?

I am going to be cheering for us obviously the whole way but once we're gone I'm going to be cheering for the broncos and Peyton to get himself another ring the guy was such a class act and his parting speech he made, just absolute class all-around. I will always respect manning for what he did for us while he was here, the guy deserves to have at least one more ring if not two more.

Re: Texans-Colts

Not true. Common games is a higher tiebreaker than conference record. The Colts beat both GB and Minny while Houston lost to them so the Colts would have won the division had they beaten Jax in week 3.

[EDIT]

Nevermind. Forgot about losing to the damned Jets....

So yes, IF the Colts had beaten Jacksonville in week 3, they would have had an identical 9-3 record vs. common opponents with Houston. The tiebreaker would then have went to conference record which Houston would have won 10-2 to the Colts 9-3, making them division champs.

Re: Texans-Colts

Ah, right on. Then, that doesn't make me feel so bad anymore...what an amazing amazing season this has been and going into the playoffs with absolutely nothing to lose, I surely wouldn't want to play us. Even if we get blown out there are so many memorable moments from this year, you could not have predicted/asked for anything more from this team. Really really special season i'll always remember.

I was watching the goodbye press conference the other day and couldn't stop than having a lump in my throat. What a guy. What a player. What a legend!

Re: Texans-Colts

I can't get over how close the score was for this game like the one two weeks ago

29-17 Texans a margin of 12
28-16 Colts a margin of 12

We're playing the Ravens next weekend... while it may seem they are down I could totally see us getting waxed by them at the same time and to have it at the expense of Caldwell calling the plays... that would be brutal.

Re: Texans-Colts

I loved the "Oh crap we're going to have to go to Foxboro again" look on the Texans' faces at the end of the game.

Re: Texans-Colts

Browsing through they Texans biggest message forum, they already know the division was just theirs for a short while and they will have to give it back to us for the next 12-15 years.

You know Houston and Tennessee have to be cursing Jacksonville for winning that last game last year.....
